  • Mercury VS Suzuki - Sea Pro 250 Repower
    We've Repowered the Sea Pro 250 with a NEW Suzuki 300 Outboard. As a professional guide, we've had access to a large assortment of engine manufacturers and motor sizes.
    In this video we repower the Sea Pro 250 Mercury 300 (V8) with a Suzuki (V6) and compare our initial discoveries with an water test for fuel economy such as MPG and our favorite top end speed.
    Learn about the reasonings why we chose to repower and gain valuable information that could help you decide on your next outboard engine.

    We have this 200 Suzuki on the back of our 20 foot blazer Bay
    We just hit 20 hours on it one of the local marinas wanted 800 to do the 20 hours service. I laugh my ass off we did it ourselves for just a little over 100 bucks. Our run great looks great. Sounds great.
    I like you said five year warranty

    Never thought I’d see someone switch from a mercury to a Suzuki I thought it was the other way around

      Warranty and cost on repower played a big role in my decision.

    I went from a merc to a Suzuki and couldn’t be happier, I have a friend that is a merc tech and has been racing mercs for 53 years now and he said that merc would be his last choice.

    Not 5 years if you're using it commercially like guiding etc.
    Better call suzuki first..

      From experience that commercial vs not is really based on your relationship with the dealer.

  • @jhbuilders
    @jhbuilders Před 2 měsíci +2

    The speed performance means very little. It has everything to do with prop size and pitch. I have had numerous mercury and suzuki engines. I do trust suzuki more than mercury these days. I have the 300. And if your repowering the performance of the 200 was about the same on two of my center consoles. Save a little money.

      I had an f 225 v6 4 stroke on my 7 metre ally boat top speed was around 42 knots and acceleration was reasonably good then l put VF 250 sho on the back and top speed is 50 knots and acceleration is much better so performance from my experience is not similar and a 200 4 cylinder wouldn't be any faster than my old f 225 actually it would probably be slower

    Mercury weighs their engine with no cowlings, shrouds and no fluids so the weight is probably alot closer than it looks.

    • @LandedFishing
      @LandedFishing  Před 6 měsíci +2

      Didn’t know that. Great info, I definitely couldn’t tell the difference in weight on the transom.
